6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is up 1/2 cent per bushel, November
soybeans are up 1 1/4 cents, and December K.C. wheat is up 2 3/4 cents.
CME Globex Recap: Global equity markets are rallying on ideas of a potential
trade truce between China and the U.S. as well as the stimulus package
delivered by the European Central Bank. The tenor of trade talks feels as
positive as it has anytime in the last several months with both sides offering
small concessions ahead of the next round of talks in October. The European
Central Bank announced a new quantitative easing program on Thursday which will
see the bank purchase $21.9 billion worth of assets for as long as the body
deems necessary. Grains are mostly higher, led overnight by wheat after
soybeans stole the show Thursday. Futures markets took their cue from cash
markets with traders anxiously awaiting some announcements from the USDA on
exports to China. The small yield reductions issued on corn and soybean yields
from the USDA on the September WASDE will have analysts cutting yields further
for the October WASDE, although much will come down to the first frost date in
much of the country. The $9.00 level in November soybeans is close at hand and
could put managed fund positions underwater if breached.
